There , ain’t ’ardly any nikoteen in ‘toasted,’ you kin smoke it till all’s blue and it J can’t ’urt year. And talk abart a flav- ’ our —and oh, boy! don’t it smell good!

Toasted Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulls’ead) lis full strength. That’s another winner! Likewise if you roll your own , there’s River’ead Gold and Desert i Gold. Both make the finest cigar- j I ettes out! ’Ere! Whatcher larfln at? i Wot’s the joke?” “I was laughing,” j replied the venerable passenger, “be- j cause I was smoking ‘toasted’ before ) you were born." The driver grunted I and lit his pipe. |
